🚜About Us
Founded in 2014, Hello Tractor is a leading ag-tech platform connecting farmers with tractor owners to democratize access to mechanization across Africa. Through our pay-as-you-go (PAYG) financing model, community-based booking agents can build strong farmer networks and transition into tractor ownership. This work is supported by our Mechanization Hubs, which provide essential services such as equipment maintenance, training, access to inputs, and market linkages. By reducing the high cost and inefficiency of manual labor, we help farmers increase yields and lower production costs, while offering tractor owners secure, IoT-enabled tracking, monitoring, and revenue generation.
Today, Hello Tractor operates across 18 African countries, supporting over 6,000 booking agents and more than 7,000 tractors, serving 3 million farmers and 7 million acres. Join us as we drive inclusive growth and expand tractor ownership across the continent.
🧩The Role
Hello Tractor has a fantastic opportunity for a Hub Associate who will be based in Kisumu. The Hub Associate supports the Hub Territory Manager in the day-to-day running of hub and field operations. This is an execution-focused role responsible for converting demand into verified bookings, supporting the agent network, driving service delivery and HT Pay adoption, and maintaining accurate hub records and inventory.
